Closed Session ReviewsProcedural Rules, Bylaws are a little bit unclear on exactly how a closed session is handled, including who can stay, what technology is permitted, etc.Shreemann: is unclear, does the Senate have permission to remove the advisor; talked to Jackson, wondered this as well; everyone here, check so next meeting we can discuss and decide if legislative changes should be made.
